The charity involved in this incident is Jake’s Network of Hope. Jen Harper, the director of development at Jake’s, provided comments regarding the matter.
Here’s what Harper had to say:
“Jacob called and said that there was a family emergency. We gave him the benefit of the doubt. At Jake’s, we are 100% about family and said that if he can’t make it, that’s fine… we rescheduled the flight that he missed originally. About an hour after that flight took off, we were made aware from him that he wasn’t coming. After that, he ghosted us, he ghosted the production team that puts together the wrestling show, and he ghosted the person that booked him for us.”
They pre-paid Jacob Fatu $1,030, and they also dropped $548 on his hotel and accommodations. They are hoping to get that money back.
We will have to see what happens in this situation. Obviously, it’s never good to steal someone’s money, especially when a charity is involved. As of this writing, Jacob Fatu has not publicly commented on this story.
